  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Classified By: Charge Peter Brennan for reasons 1.4(B,D) 
 
1.  (C) Over the past 2-3 months, the political section has 
received over a dozen proposals from civil society 
organizations concentrated in three areas: human rights 
defense, organized labor, and indigenous (Miskito) groups. 
Each organization claims to oppose President Daniel Ortega 
and seeks financial support to develop, promote, or advance 
democracy or democratic forces in some way.  Feeling isolated 
and threatened, these organizations are reaching out to the 
USG for both assurances and assistance. 
 
Comment 
- - - - 
 
2.  (C) Because our ability to directly fund even the 
smallest projects is extremely limited, post has concentrated 
on trying to identify and facilitate local funding and/or to 
refer proposals to other organizations such as the National 
Endowment for Democracy for funding consideration.  (NOTE: 
Last week NED agreed to give the Nicaraguan Permanent 
Commission for Human Rights - featured below - $45,000 as a 
first year grant, $15,000 beyond the normal range of a first 
year grant.  END NOTE.)  Of the many proposals received thus 
far, we have forwarded only the two most promising and, we 
believe, important proposals to DRL and the desk requesting 
assistance (ref A, B). 
 
3.  (C) We know that some organizations will shrewdly seek to 
avail themselves of the USG, playing pro-democracy and/or 
anti-Ortega cards, hoping to cash-in on what they perceive as 
the United States' new-found interest in -- and associated 
generosity towards -- Nicaragua.  However, there is no doubt 
that many civil society organizations in these areas face 
real pressure and are genuinely afraid for democracy or at 
least respect for democratic principles. 
 
4.  (C) We stress that the proposals we forward to Washington 
represent only the tip of a growing iceberg.  Under the 
current administration, civil society organizations will 
continue to reach out for help.  It is less certain if they 
will continue to reach out to the USG, or even survive in 
some cases, if we fail to provide some assistance.  If this 
happens, we could lose important access points into and 
influence with civil society at a critical juncture.  Local 
democracy funds or some other post-managed funding mechanism 
that would give us access to fast and flexible funds would 
enable us, in a small way, to strategically buttress civil 
society.

5.  (C) Below is a list of ten projects received by poloffs 
related to developing or reinforcing democracy/democratic 
movements in the face of growing pressure and, in some cases, 
threats from the Ortega government.  While not a complete 
list of the proposals received, it does represent the best 
well-developed proposal ideas.
